Computational medicine, a fast-growing method of using sophisticated computer models to figure out how disease develops, promises a new era of personalized medicine. “We are poised at an exciting time in medicine,” writes Raimond L. Winslow, Director of the Johns Hopkins Institute of Computational Medicine and lead author on the Science Translational Medicine article “Computational […]
Foundations of Computational Biology and Bioinformatics II (Course number – BME 580.688/580.488 and CS 600.688/600.488) will be available this spring with Assistant Professor Rachel Karchin of the Institute for Computational Medicine and Department of Biomedical Engineering, Johns Hopkins University. Computational biology / bioinformatics is a fast-moving field at the interface between molecular biology, computer science, […]
Introduction to Dynamical Systems (Course number – BME/ME/ECE: 580.616) will be available this fall with Assistant Professor Sridevi Sarma of the Institute for Computational Medicine and Department of Biomedical Engineering, Johns Hopkins University. The course examines linear, discrete- continuous-time, and multi-input-output systems in control and related areas. Least squares and matrix perturbation problems are considered. […]
The 2009 NHLBI T15 Short Course on Integrative Computational Modeling of the Cardiac Myocyte, held July 20-24 at the Mt. Washington Conference Center, was a resounding success. The course was taught by a team of three ICM faculty and five graduate students. Fifteen participants, including engineering faculty, physicians, and graduate students came together to learn […]
LS-SNP is a web tool for genome-wide annotation of human SNPs. The current version, LS-SNP/PDB, provides information useful for identifying amino-acid changing SNPs (nsSNPs) that are most likely to have an impact on biological function. The system is kept up-to-date by an automated, high-throughput build pipeline that systematically maps human nsSNPs onto Protein Data Bank […]
A study published today in AJP in Advance, the online advance edition of The American Journal of Psychiatry, the official journal of the American Psychiatric Association, reveals for the first time shape differences in the brains of children with ADHD, which could help pinpoint the specific neural circuits involved in the disorder. Researchers from the […]
The Institute for Computational Medicine (ICM) has received a $2 million shared instrumentation grant from the NIH’s National Center for Research Resources to acquire, at a minimum configuration, a 256 dual quad-core node cluster computer with 1 petabyte of storage. This computer will become the major shared computing resource used by the faculty, students, and […]
The ICM announces the second annual Raj and Neera Singh Summer Undergraduate Fellowship. The Institute will sponsor competitive non-credit summer research fellowships for Johns Hopkins University undergraduate students in the Whiting School of Engineering.
The NHLBI will support proposals for federating software tools or data sets through the CardioVascular Research Grid (CVRG) infrastructure. PAR Announcement
On August 7, the Institute for Computational Medicine moved into its home in the newly constructed Computational Sciences and Engineering Building at the JHU Homewood campus. Located on the second and third floor of CSEB, this new space provides the ICM space for new faculty, students, and staff. The space also includes a state of […]
